Citing a trusted US publishing source, Edge-Online is reporting that Microsoft and Epic Games are planning to release Gears of War 3 for Xbox 360 in April 2011. While a sequel in the super successful shooter series has been expected, no game has been officially announced. The source also told Edge that while the Gears game could be completed this year, Microsoft is pushing it to 2011 to avoid cannibalizing sales of its other shooter Halo: Reach or affecting performance for the Natal motion controller. Both products are slated to hit Xbox 360 before the end of this year. Edge-Online says a teaser trailer for Gears of War 3 is planned for next month followed by a bigger reveal at E3 in June. The outlet wasn’t able to get a response from Microsoft, although it does cite a statement from Epic Games Mark Rein that the developer has no titles on slate for 2010.
